I was thinking of Germany today, LGF. Wherever they are in the world today, they're the loudest like the Americans used to be, and often hard to love. We seem to be in the same pew there. There seems a surpassing and genuine nobless oblige which I admire from the pastor's daughter. More than anything for me is how it faced up to its past with generous reparations and opened its borders to all comers in its first post-war constitution until the invasion of jobless and dispossessed led to amendments, as it is doing now with refugees. I haven't seen a rearming muscle, if anything the opposite, and they chose the most peaceful sector of Afghanistan and Canada the toughest. I doubt a duelling scar among them.
